A normative power Europe framework of transnational policy formation
Since introduced by Ian Manners in 2002, ‘normative power Europe’ (NPE), has emerged as one of the most widely debated approaches in European Studies. While critiques persist, NPE continues to be innovatively applied by scholars exploring the role of the European Union as a global actor. This contribution aims to position NPE scholarship away from ‘essentialist’ theoretical debates and towards its use as an analytical apparatus for examining tran…
Economic Development, Income Inequality, and Preferences for Redistribution1
Adopting a cross-regional and global perspective, this article critically evaluates one of the core assertions of political economy approaches to welfare—that support for redistribution is inversely related to income. We hypothesize that economic self-interest gives way to more uniform support for redistribution in the interest of ensuring that basic or relative needs are met in less developed and highly unequal societies. To test this hypothesis…
José Bové and the globalisation countermovement in France and beyond
This article illustrates the continuing salience of Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation (1944) by employing two of its central concepts, fictitious commodities and the double movement to interpret the globalisation countermovement and one of its most important figures, José Bové. I explain the transformation of José Bové from rural sheep farmer to French folk hero and global activist and analyse the extent to which his rhetoric and political …
Constructing opposition in the age of globalization
This article examines the movement ATTAC and assesses its potential to function as a vital part of the emerging global opposition to neoliberal globalization. We analyze the agenda of the movement and assess its coherence, both in terms of policy evaluations and prescriptions and in terms of the fit of the movement's organizational structure with its substantive mission and official aims. To this end, we explain the emergence and stellar rise of …
Contesting the hegemony of market ideology
This article argues that the most fundamental challenge of globalization (both as a concept and as a sociopolitical process) lies in our need to reassess its bearing on the meaning and potential of democratic praxis. My purpose then is first to offer a critique of neoliberal globalization from the vantage point of democratic theory, exposing how this form of market ideology is inherently antithetical to democratic principles. The second part of t…
The impact of constitutional structures and collective and competitive veto points on income inequality in industrialized democracies
This paper presents the first systematic, empirical examination of the impact of constitutional structures on income inequality among eighteen OECD countries. Our pooled time series/cross–sectional panel analysis (n = 18, t = 2) reveals that consensual political institutions are systematically related to lower income inequalities while the reverse is true for majoritarian political institutions. We also make a crucial distinction between ‘collect…
